I guess “everyone” means all the people who buy everything Blizzard.

I don’t count myself amongst that number. I have a greater sense of self worth than that. :P

Anyway, this looks fun. That’s one thing that this game has to it – a strong sense of fun. Not all corporate and completely soulless.

I like the animation style, too, reminiscent of Shank, Samurai Jack, and the Banner Saga. Very stylised, and it definitely sidesteps the expectations for one of those equally corporate and soulless CGI trailers. That had more character and charm than any trailer I’ve seen put out by Blizzard.

But then… that’s hardly surprising.

What’s so bad about that? Samurai Jack was an absolutely amazing accomplishment as an animated work. And if you didn’t like that, then… well, you’re just dead inside. A husk longing to become a person.

@1 I’d say some are playing Diablo 3. Most are probably stuck looking at crashed or struggling authentication servers :P

Stress tests, woo!

Roll on the Torchlight II!

I am downloading the D3 client right now, shall endeavour to squeeze in some time for it before the beta period ends.

After playing the D3 beta, I am looking forward to what Tourchlight II is going to offer more then ever.

For me D3 lacks the same depth and magic that DII had.
